factchecker2 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Has Jonathan Rees ever served on a jury in the District of Columbia? How many local elections has Rees not voted in?

Gay Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Would both those questions be a part of the public record anybody could obtain? Has Jonathan Rees ever served on a jury in the District of Columbia? How many local elections has Rees not voted in? (That information would be in the public record.)

factchecker2 Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I just hope to get some honest answers from Rees about his background -- anything, really. Has Rees skipped voting in any District of Columbia elections? That shows ties to the community and concern for the community. Has Rees served on jury duty? Serving is every citizen's obligation. (Former felons usually can't serve, though, so not ever having been on a jury can be revealing.) Where did Rees go to school? Let's resolve the contradictions once and for all. Who is on Rees' campaign staff? The names keep shifting and nobody can seem to pin down whether or not any of these people named on his website actually exist. Where have all the early and even recent supporters of Rees' campaign gone? Names like Alex Biddy, Kathleen Roddy, Thelma Cumes, Harry Firestone, Ramon Rivera, Nicole Dixon, and others. What's Rees' job? He's been vague and contradictory on that. Let's just get some honest, direct answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gay Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 These are some good questions. I only know the guy in seeing him in the stores but know nothing about any of those issues you bring up. I suspect that his campaign staff is made up mainly of family members just by the names that pop up. Has anybody called the board of elections, the jury office at the court house or other agencies that have open informnation?

Gay Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 (edited) I called the the DC Board of Elections & Ethics and asked if they can confirm if a local ward 3 candidate Jonathan Rees is an active voter and if he has voted of recent. The woman I spoke to said that Rees has been a registered ward 3 voter since 1989, has voted in each primary and election since 1989 and prior to that, he was a registered voter in ward 1. I also asked about the other five candidate and all of them have been active voters in our ward for more than ten year except Sam Brooks who did not vote in any matter from 1999-2003. I called to the Superior Court and spoke to a woman in the jury office but she said information as to who has been called up or served was not available to the public. Yes.

Gay Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Sam Brooks is the only ward 3 candidate who has no ties to ward 3, is still a registered voter of ward 2 and has never asked for a change in his voter status to reflect a tie to ward 3.

bfrankdc Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 That seems to directly contradict statements made by Candidate Rees about Frank Smith, Jim Graham and voting in Ward 1. B.

bfrankdc Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Just because he registered initially in 1989 doesn't mean that he has been registered in Ward three SINCE 1989. The DC BoEE records do not show such information. By the way, how are you able to register all of this information since the exact birthdates are required? Amazing for someone who has never met Candidate Rees, his "wife" or his gay bashing cohort Ramon "de Primo" Stewart Rivera! B. Frank By the way, the below on Jonathan Rees was forged, or is not what DCBoEE has in its records. I suspect the same is true of the others.

Gay Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 When I called that BOEE they told me if I came down that this information was open to the public at their computer terminals. I said that I am retired and have severe arthritis and that is when a clerk said he would fax it to me. I only copied down what I saw. So how does that differ from what you might have? Quite different, yes. B. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
